Another minor league season is nearly in the books, and for the Kansas City Royals, the season could be taken a variety of ways. For one, the pitching development took clear strides forward this season, as evidenced by improvements in strikeouts on the farm. The process on the mound was different and that process is starting to create results. The minor league hitters weren’t so successful this season, as offense seemed down throughout the system. Some big-name prospects like Gavin Cross struggled immensely.
The season has already wrapped up for the Low-A Columbia Fireflies (66-65) and High-A Quad Cities River Bandits (55-77).
